This is first from Signwatch in re Susan Cummings' visions and Arkansas Trip.

Arkansas Trip Notes- May 2006

Flight to Little Rock: 5-17-06

Some turbulence close to city, just over the city under the clouds, as landing. Hit the runway hard. Looked for cracks in the plane as it hit with a loud bang. But all was well.....

Landed and turned on cell phone: 3:33 pm

Susan saw 2 twin black dragons in the spirit, that ruled over the city area that God was going to deal with, and set His People free from:

1. Named "Fear"

2. Named "Torment"- (of the mind)

At the airport, while waiting for Patrick to fly in, the Lord gave me the following scriptures:

Matt 7:7

Zeph 3:1-13 Text for the Little Rock area and it's condition and God's changes coming

5-6-06

Susan had vision of an angel dressed like an Indian. He had a long spear or stick in his hand and it had 2 feathers on the top area. He had illuminated sapphire blue eyes.

5-18-06

Paige, Patrick, and Susan climb Mt Pinnacle in the Little Rock area. There were Indians in the spirit, around the trail base and trail areas as we ascended. They were watching us climb and were waiting for us to come to Arkansas. When we reached the top of the mountain, and were praying, 3 eagles were circling us overhead. The angel that looked like the Indian with the spear was beside us. He looked at Susan and said, "It's time to take the staff."

So we reached out our hands to the Lord and received what he had for us there. Then we stayed for a few minutes, and the cherubim began to stir in the tops of the bushes and the wind blew through them. Other angels were also among us as we prayed. Another 4th eagle came and as we got up to leave, a 5th eagle came and flew over us. Then we descended.

5-19-06 Text- John 5:19

Nahum 1:1-8

Jeremiah 9:23- 10:16

Time of severe shaking and rending of the heart in America coming, so that the Father can get to the heart that is crusted over, and bring change. Arkansas depicts a picture of the heartland that will be rent and exposed for Gods Purposes and change.

Arkansas destiny: "It's your time."

The "Little Rock" of men, must become the "Pure Rock" of Christ.

We have been in a prophetic 2 year period of the scrolls being given out to the new prophets, from 10-8-04 to 10-08-06. Next comes the season of the sickles being given out. Those who received the scrolls are those who will receive the sickles.

While during the worship: Susan heard a song being sung in the heavens:

The Fragrance of the King

The Fragrance of the King

Brings healing within His Wings

Given to all who humbly come before Him

And fully bring to Him their all

The Fragrance of the King

Now descends in the midst of thee

Given to all who desperately call

Before Him they now fall and bow

The Fragrance of the King

Burns through the hearts that sing

Giving His Love to them who have come

Filling them with the fullness of the Son

5-21-06

After the meetings were over, the next day, several of us gathered for prayer.

Some of what was released amongst the group, can be shared below...

The Lord told Susan through a prophetic word:

"You have yet to release the full burden of the Word and to proclaim the full pain of My Heart. You will release both."

Then He said to her, "Many of My prophets have not cared to open My scroll for the weight of it to be released. They have only cared for themselves and not for the chains of My People. I have carried it to full maturity, till I raised up another people with a true heart for Me. I have only begun the tip of the release- for the pain is too great for the Body to bear- but it must come. For the creation has already begun to tear. You must tell My People to prepare. You must bring them in and show them the stairs."

(The spiritual inheritance of the Remnant Saints being rooted and grounded in Christ, and seated with Him in the heavenly places, ruling and reigning from there, while on the earth.)

"The cries have been released into the earth- and the angels have gone forth to gather the coals. For the scattering of the coals now comes on the heels of the blows. Strengthen the stakes, and lengthen the Tent cords. For the chariots do go forth, and you will surely fulfill your course."

"Mark it well"..and..."Take heed" was heard amongst us all, by the Lord.....

Deu 28:1,2

Matthew 17:1-5

2 Peter 1:16-21

Susan and the others had joint prophetic experiences.

While riding in the car, The presence of the Lord intensified, and the Lord was very grieved over the condition of His House, people, and the cries of the bottled up prayers that He held, were now being released. Great weeping and travail took place in the car. The Lord said that one bottle that we saw that was being opened, was one that contained 10 years of prayers from Japan. We could hear the cries of the people as they cried out for justice and answers. This was just one country. The Lord said that we could not bear the pain and the weight of the pain that he carried on behalf of His people, and we experienced only a portion. God is answering prayers, but also judging and exposing many injustices that have been done now.

Another experience:

There was great noises, sounds of the cherubim wheels, whirring, lightning, thunder.

Fire, great fire coming. Susan saw a mountain, and there were angels coming from the North.

We were then lifted up in the heavens, and were looking downwards at the Earth below us.

Jesus was standing beside us, and was serious looking.

We watched as fiery coals were thrown down. As the fire spread, streams of fire went to some places.

Gold streams were seen, as some of the fiery streams changed after it burnt the areas it went to.

Also, Susan saw huge earthquakes rend the globe in several places.

We are currently in the timing of Ezekiel 9 and 10.

The marking of those who see the abominations and who separate themselves from them.

The judging of those who love the darkness more than the light.

Doug saw rivers of oil running down the heads of the people. Job 29:1-6

Susan saw an angel with blue linen on, with a flask or pitcher pouring oil over their heads. He was an atoning angel.

Destiny:

Each person to His place. Each person will choose their destiny.

Arkansas will choose their destiny.

America will choose their destiny.

Flight home:

Gate 12, Flight 880, Time boarded 11:11, and turned on phone as we taxied in at 3:33 pm again. -----Hmmmm

On November 2, 2000 Patrick was taken into a trance, in this visionhe saw an angel with a huge harp in his arms with his left armstretched across the strings and he was about to play the harp.Patrick's Account below.

On November 2, 2000. I went into a trance. In this vision I sawmyself in our neighborhood walking down the street and I was lookingfor West Street. I found West Street in our neighborhood and walkedup it and suddenly I saw the dark sky over me changing like atransformation was happening and then the dark sky (the veil)disappeared. Then I saw a huge angel with a huge harp in his arms inthe first Heaven behind where the dark sky was he was a perfectbeing. He was lit up with the Light of the glory of God and thestrings of the harp were lit up with the same Light of the glory ofGod. His left arm was stretched across the strings about to strumit. Then I was turned to the left and was looking down the streetand at the end of the street was the White Horse with the Angel ofthe Lord riding upon it with two huge white wings on his back. TheWhite Horse walked up to me and stopped in front of me, and theAngel and the Horse were the whitest White color, the same shade ofWhite. The Angel looked down at me with a pure white face. Then Iwas turned again and was facing the other way on the road. Then Ilooked up and saw Jesus Christ coming down from the third Heaven onthe White Horse in His glorified form as in Revelation 19:11. He hadthe reins in His hands as he riding down from Heaven, the HolySpirit took over my eyes and I saw the details of Jesus Christ as herode down. I saw His white beard and little curls in it. He wasperfectly groomed. He had blue eyes, and had the deepest tan skin.He was muscular and He was a perfect man. And He continued to ridedown to the earth. As He came down I saw His eyes twinkle. As Istood there I thought I was the only one there. Then I said, "He'scoming to me. When I said that, I saw in my peripheral visionrunning up from behind me a woman. She had on a bridle dress and hadlong blond hair she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen.She ran past me, and at that point Jesus on the White Horse wasclose to the earth about 3 feet above the earth, then He flew overthe head of the Horse and landed on the earth when He did the bridewas running towards Him and as she got some feet in front of Jesusshe flung herself with total abandonment up into the air towardJesus and He opened His arms and caught her in His arms and embracedher. Then the vision ended and the last thing I saw was the Angel ofthe Lord behind me with His overshadowing wings over me as He sat onthe White Horse. Then I came back and went into my body and theAngel of the Lord on the White Horse came back with me and I openedmy eyes in Living terror of the Lord and the Angel of the Lord wasover me on the White Horse but now I could not see Him, but Idiscerned He was there! The Lord told me this was the Revival in theCity of Rochester N.Y. and in the surrounding 6 counties.

While Susan Cummings and Patrick were ministering in Arkansas thisangel played his harp and the judgment of America was released.

Prophet Doug Horton who attended this meeting had weeks before beenawakened by the playing of a harp, he heard the harp play fivenotes.

On May 20, 2006 as Susan and Patrick ministered that night inArkansas during the worship 75 angels came into the meeting from thethird Heaven and ministered to us. Patrick was led to prophesy todifferent people in the meeting as he prophesied to Doug, Doug tapedthe prophecy on the audio tape. The next day Doug listened to thetape and on the tape in the backround he heard someone whistle thesame five notes he had heard played by the harp from Heaven weeksbefore. (This whistle was on his tape but it was not on the other CDrecording of the meeting). He played the tape for us and there wasthe playing of the five notes in the backround. We knew this was asupernatural thing God had done.

Then the Lord gave us understanding of the five notes- He remindedPatrick of the angel with the harp that appeared to him on November2, 2000 and at the time of the vision the Holy Spirit gave Patrickunderstanding of this. He told him it was Revelation 14:1-5.

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with himan hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name writtenin their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice ofmany waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard thevoice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it werea new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and theelders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and fortyand four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These arethey which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. Theseare they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These wereredeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to theLamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are withoutfault before the throne of God. Revelation 14:1-5

Then the Holy Spirit told Patrick: "The five notes are for the fivejudgment angels of Ezekiel chapter 9:1-11."

He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause themthat have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with hisdestroying weapon in his hand. And, behold, six men came from theway of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every mana slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothedwith linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in,and stood beside the brasen altar. And the glory of the God ofIsrael was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to thethreshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen,which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; And the Lord said untohim, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst ofJerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sighand that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midstthereof. And to the others (five angels) he said in mine hearing, Goye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare,neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, andlittle children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom isthe mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancientmen which were before the house. And he said unto them, Defile thehouse, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And theywent forth, and slew in the city. And it came to pass, while theywere slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, andcried, and said, Ah Lord God! wilt thou destroy all the residue ofIsrael in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? Then said heunto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedinggreat, and the land is full of blood, and the city full ofperverseness: for they say, The Lord hath forsaken the earth, andthe Lord seeth not. And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare,neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon theirhead. And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhornby his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hastcommanded me. Ezekiel 9:1-11 (italics added)

After the Holy Spirit told Patrick this and he told no one what Hehad said, Susan then had a vision experience and in this vision shesaw the five judgment angels of Ezekiel 9: coming to the earth. Thiswas an amazing exact conformation of what the Holy Spirit had toldPatrick and confirmed that this was true.

After this the Holy Spirit brought to Patrick remembrance SamuelDoctorian experience on the isle of Patmos where the five judgmentangels of Ezekiel 9: had appeared to him and revealed to him the endday judgment of the whole earth, Earlier that day the Lord had ledPatrick to pray for them that day Revelation chapter 1:9. So Godanswered the prayer for them to do with John being on the isle ofPatmos, and the revelation of Samuel Doctorian while he was on theisle of Patmos. Account below.

I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, andin the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that iscalled Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of JesusChrist. Revelation 1:9

The Five Angels of the ContinentsSamuel Doctorian

Samuel Doctorian said: "I was here alone in a house on the Isle ofPatmos for several weeks to pray and seek the Lord. I found a littlechapel - St. Nicolas's Chapel - where no one ever goes. I went thereand poured out my heart before God. I found a rock on the side of ahill where I would go to sit and pray - meditation and reading theBible. I ate very little during those days. Several times I went tothe cave of John where he saw the great Revelation.

While meditating for one month in this solitary place, I thought, "Iwonder if the Lord will ever send a tenth angel?" I'd seen angelsnine times before - in England, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in Amman,Jordan, in Jerusalem, and angel that delivered a woman from beinghanged in upper Egypt; I saw the ninth angel in Beirut in the midstof war. The angel physically awakened me at 3:00 in the morning andtold me to get out of the country immediately. I am grateful to theLord until today - I don't know what might have happened to me ifthe angel had not come. Heaven will tell that one-day. So I wonderedwhether I would see an angel for the tenth time. There were timeswhen I was praying when I felt such presence I asked, "Lord, Iwonder if an angel is coming now? " But it was not so. One night Ieven dreamt about an angel. He told me to fly in my dream and I did - but that was only a dream. I wanted to see a real angel, as I hadseen nine times before.

On June 20 at 3:50am, here in Patmos suddenly my room was full oflight, and there are no lights around here. It is a house all byitself at the end of the road near a monastery. Lo and behold, whenI was wide-awake - I saw five beautiful angels. I saw their faces -perfect and human-like, but full of light. I saw their eyes, theirhair, their hands.

On my right side were two angels, and when I looked to the left Isaw three other angels with wings. They had beautiful white robesfalling to the floor - something I can't describe with human words.I wondered why five angels had come, but I was trembling andshaking. I wanted to cry, but I could not. Just before I saw theseangels in the Spirit. I had seen myself in a great meeting ofmultitudes, and I was preaching in English. An interpreter was on myleft with dark hair and a grey suit, but I can't remember whatlanguage he was speaking. I was prophesying this message: "Mychurch, you preach love, you teach love, but you need to practicelove - to show love. There is need of unity in my body. There aremany divisions among you. My spirit will not move and work wherethere is no unity. There is carnality in my church; too muchuncleanness in my church. I desire and I want a holy people. I diedto made you holy." While I was prophesying in the spirit I wastrembling. My eyes opened and I was looking at the great multitude.And suddenly, in the midst of the prophecy, these mighty angelsappeared. I went back from the pulpit and thought I was going tofall down. I am now wide-awake, but this is all happening in thespirit. Some power helped me not to fall down and I wondered whatwas happening.

Then suddenly the first angel on my right side said," We are fiveangels from the five continents. We are here to give you messagesfrom the five continents of the world." The moment I heard that, Ialso heard the multitude crying out, "Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh;" I believethat multitude saw the angels also. Somehow the Lord showed me thatin the days to come, in many parts of the world, God is going toreveal Himself through ministering angels. It's going to happenpublicly; it's going to happen in churches - thousands of peopleseeing angels at the same time. They will be ministering to the Bodyin these last days. Then came this message from the angels:" Whatyou see and hear, tell it to the nations." So it's not something tokeep to myself. Whether they accept it or don't accept it, I have totell it to the nations.

FIRST ANGEL:

The first angel said:" I have a message for all of Asia." When hesaid that, in a spilt few seconds, I could see all of China, India,the Asian countries like Vietnam, Laos - I've never been to thosecountries. I saw the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia andIndonesia. And then the angel showed me all of Papua New Guinea,Irian Jaya and down to Australia and New Zealand.

"I am the angel of Asia," he said. And in his hand I saw atremendous trumpet that he is going to blow all over Asia. Whateverthe angel said, it's going to happen with the trumpet of the Lordall over Asia. Millions are going to hear the mighty voice of theLord. Then the angel said, "There shall be disaster, starvation -many will die from hunger. Strong winds will be looked like hasnever happened before. A great part shall be shaken and destroyed.Earthquakes will take place all over Asia and the sea will cover theearth.

I saw this on June 20. Today is August 16. A few weeks ago I heardthe news of villages completely wiped out and washed into the sea inPapua New Guinea. Thousand of lives in great jeopardy. That happeneda few weeks ago, and the angel told me it is going to happen allover Asia. "The earth will fall into the sea," I heard the angelsay," part of Australia will be shaken. Australia will be divided,and a great part will go under the ocean. "This was frightening - Iwondered whether I was hearing right. But the angel said," Millionswill die in China and in India. Nation will be against nation,brother against brother. Asians will fight each other. Nuclearweapons shall be used, killing millions." Twice I heard the words, "Catastrophic! Catastrophic!" then the angel said, "Financial crisiswill come to Asia. I will shake the world."

I was trembling while the angel was speaking. Then he looked at meand smiled and said," There shall be the greatest spiritualawakening - bondage will be broken. Barriers will be removed. Andall over Asia - China - India - people will turn to Christ. InAustralia there shall be tremendous revival." I heard the angel ofAsia say, " It is the last harvest." Then as if the Lord werespeaking, he said," I shall prepare My church for the return ofChrist." I was happy with such good news after the message ofjudgment. All the time the five angels were in my room I could feeltheir presence - it was tremendous.

SECOND ANGEL:

Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such asis used in harvesting. The second angel said," Harvest time has comein Israel and the countries all the way to Iran." I saw thosecountries in a few split seconds. "All of Turkey and those[inaudible;] countries that have refused me and refused my messageof love shall hate each other and kill one another." I saw the angelraise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries.

I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia - Iraq,Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. Isaw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weaponsused in many of those countries. Smoke rising from everywhere.Sudden destruction - men destroying one another.

I heard these words, " Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment hascome." The angel said, "The chosen, the church, the remnant, shallbe purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God." Isaw fires rising to heaven. The angel said," This is the finaljudgment. My church shall be purified, protected and ready for thefinal day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all overthe Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for waterin those countries." The angel showed me that the United Nationsshall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East.There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickleshall reap the harvest.

THIRD ANGEL:

Then one of the angels with wings showed me Europe from one end tothe other - from the north all the way down to Spain and Portugal.In his hand he had a scale of measurement. I saw him fly overEurope, and I heard the words, " I am grieved. I am grieved.Unrighteousness, uncleanness, ungodliness - all over Europe. The sinhas risen to heaven. The Holy Spirit is grieved." I saw the riversof Europe flooding and covering millions of houses. Millions drown.After seeing this, I read the news a few weeks ago. Czechoslovakiahad the worst flooding ever. I also heard that the big river inChina is in tremendous danger of thousands of houses being destroyedin flooding. I didn't know all this news until after I had seen thevision and heard what the angels told me.

Suddenly I heard earthquakes all over Europe. " Countries that havehad no earthquakes shall be shaken," said the angel. And suddenly,in my spirit, I saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris crumbling fallingdown. A great part of Germany destroyed. The great city of London -destruction everywhere. I saw floods all over Scandinavia. I lookedto the south and saw Spain and Portugal passing through hunger andgreat destruction.

Many will die from hunger all over Spain and Portugal. I wasdisturbed by all this news, and I said," Lord, what about yourchildren?" The angel said," I shall prepare them. They shall belooking for the appearing of the Lord. Many will cry to me in thosedays and I will save them. I shall perform mighty miracles for themand show them My power." So in the midst of great destruction, therewill be the grace of God in those countries. I was happy that Godhas His protection over His children.

FORTH ANGEL:

Now we go to Africa. I saw the fourth angel with wings fly overAfrica, and I could see from Capetown in the south all the way tothe north of Cairo - I saw all the countries there, more than fiftyof them. The angel of Africa had a sword in his hand - a tremendous,sharp sword. Suddenly I heard him say, " Innocent blood has beenshed. Divisions amongst the people generations far from the Lord -they have killed one another, thousands of people. I have seen myfaithful children in Africa, and I shall reward all the faithful inthe continent of Africa. I shall bless them abundantly. I shallcontrol the weather - scorching and burning of the sun in someparts. Great rivers shall dry up, and millions will die fromstarvation. In other parts, flooding. Foundations shall be shaken.My sword shall judge the unrighteous and the bloodthirsty. So manyearthquakes shall happen that rivers shall flow different directionsin the continent, flooding many villages." I saw great piecesfalling from the sky over different parts of Africa " There shall betrembling of the earth like has not been seen since the creation.None shall escape the sword of the Lord." I saw the River Niledrying up. It is the god of Egypt. Fishes dead and stinking all overEgypt. A great part of the middle of Africa will be covered withwater - millions dying. "Lord," I said, "It is all bad news. Alldestruction. Any good news?" The Lord said, "The final day has come.Judgment day is here. My love has been refused now, and the end hascome." I was shaking and trembling. I thought I cannot bear it.

FIFTH ANGEL:

Then I saw the last angel flying over North and South America - allthe way from the North Pole down to Argentina. >From the east of theU.S.A. to California. I saw in his hand a bowl. The angel said hewould pour out over these countries the judgments that were in thebowl. Then I heard the angel say, "No justice anymore. Norighteousness. No holiness. Idolatry. Materialism. Drunkenness.Bondage of sin. Shedding of innocent blood - millions of babiesbeing killed before they are born. Families are broken. Anadulterous generation. Sodom and Gomorrah is here. The days of Noahare here. False preachers. False prophets. Refusing of my love. Manyof them have the imitation of religion, but denying the real power.

When I heard all that, I begged the angel, "Can you not wait for alittle while? Don't pour it. Give a chance for repentance." Theangel said, "Many times God has spared and has spoken, but they havenot listened. His patience has come to an end. Beware, the time hascome. They have loved money and pleasure more than they have lovedMe." As the angel began to pour from the bowl in his hand, I sawtremendous icebergs melting. When that happened I saw floods allover Canada and North America - all the rivers flood; destructioneverywhere. I heard the world market collapsing with mightyearthquakes, and New York skyscrapers were tumbling - millions dying.

I saw ships in the ocean sinking. I heard explosions all over thenorth country. I saw the angel pouring over Mexico and two oceansjoining together- the Atlantic and the Pacific. A great part ofnorth Brazil covered with water, the Amazon River turning into agreat sea. Forests destroyed and flooded. Major cities in Brazildestroyed; earthquakes in many places. As the angel poured, greatdestruction took place in Chile and Argentina as never before. Thewhole world was shaking. Then I heard the angel say," This willhappen in a very short time." I said, "Can't you postpone? Don'tpour these things out all over the globe." And suddenly I saw thefive angels standing around the globe lifting up their hands andtheir wings towards heaven and saying, "All glory to the Lord ofheaven and earth. Now the time has come and He will glorify His Son.The earth shall be burned and destroyed. All things shall pass away.The new Heaven and New Earth shall come. God shall destroy the worksof the devil forever. I shall show My power - how I will protect Mychildren in the midst of all this destruction.

Be ready for that day, for the Lord has come.

My room was full of light from the brightness of the angels. Thensuddenly they ascended up to heaven. As I looked up I saw the angelsgo in five directions. I know they already have started theirduties. For more than an hour I could not move. I was wide-awake,trembling from time to time. I said, " Lord, shall I leave Patmosnow?" He said, "No, I brought you here for a purpose." I said," Themessage from the angels all over the world is not good news. It isjudgment, punishment, destruction, devastation. What will people sayabout me? I've always been a preacher of love, peace and good news."The angel said," It is our message. You are the instrument, thechannel. What a privilege that God has chosen you to give thismessage to the nations. "I said," Lord, Thy will be done." To God bethe glory.

After the trip to Arkansas on May 23, 2006 Patrick was led to lookagain at Samuel Doctorian Word from the isle of Patmos of the fivejudgment angels. After Patrick read the Word he was driving in thevan and he suddenly discerned that one of the five angels was in thevan with them. He was so real the presence of God coming from himwas so Holy.

The Holy Spirit told Patrick: "That he was the fifth angel-the angelof America and that he had come today because of the summit meetingbetween Israel and America- Prime Minister Olmert and President Bushand there plan-the roadmap- for Israel to give away land for peace,because of America's part in this, this angel is bringing judgmentfrom the Lord to America."

Then the Holy Spirit showed Patrick that the angel he saw with theharp in the vision of November 2, 2000 was this fifth angel thatbrother Doctorian saw. His description of the five angels is thesame description of the angel Patrick saw he had perfect featuresand was lit up with the light of God. When the five notes wereplayed on May 21, 2006 he was playing those notes on his harp.

Then the Holy Spirit told Patrick to figure out how long it was fromthe vision of the angel November 2, 2000 to today May 23, 2006 therelease of the angel of America. When Patrick figured it out it was5 years 6 months and 21 days=5621. The Holy Spirit then told Patrickthis number was a Hebrew number of the year 5621. It was the year1861.

In 1861 the Civil War began-God told us on March 4, 2006 that WorldWar 111 was now released in the Spirit and would now also come inthe natural.

President Abraham Lincoln was put in office March 4, 1861- Marchforth to War.

May 18-24, 1861 Arkansas secedes from the Union- the same week weare there ministering May 19-21, 2006 -the Angel Union.

Arkansas, which represents the heart of America, broke covenant. Intertestingly, the Lord brought us back to Arkansas to renew the covenant.

God honors covenant, even from the foundation of our nation. All who truly walk in covenant with God will see His answers, and will stand in the war that comes to our nation.

PASADENA, Calif. (AP)?The ground heaves, an earthquake is born. Underground sensors along fault lines detect rumblings humans can't and relay signals to a central computer. Precious seconds before anything is felt, wailing sirens blare that a big one is on its way.

That sliver of time could be used to warn people to flee from windows and take cover. Companies such as gas and electric utilities could take actions to protect their systems. And speeding trains could have enough time to brake to a halt.

Such alert systems already exist in parts of Japan, Mexico, Taiwan and Turkey where the main users are businesses such as railway companies, power plants and manufacturers.

But that's not the case in the United States?except for a handful of schools, firehouses and airports that use commercially available, battery-powered seismic gadgets that warn a limited region.

This summer, the U.S. Geological Survey is cautiously taking another look at early warning, beginning with a three-year test to gauge how well three experimental systems around California would work in the real world.

Scientists will gather data without broadcasting alerts to residents or businesses. While a working system is still years and tens of millions of dollars away, many see the pilot project as a first step toward catching up with the rest of the world.

Many existing global networks sprang from killer quakes, and some scientists fear it would take a catastrophe to jolt the U.S. into action.

"If the capital of the United States were Los Angeles, we would have had an early warning system a long time ago,'' said Tom Heaton, professor of earthquake engineering at the California Institute of Technology and developer of one of the test systems.

It's not the first time the idea has surfaced in the United States. A decade ago, while Southern California was upgrading its seismic monitoring stations following the deadly 1994 Northridge quake, some scientists had high hopes the U.S. would develop its own system. But liability issues and fears of false alarms hampered progress. Finally, federal funding ran out.

Early warning systems can't predict quakes. Instead, a sprawling network of sensors near the epicenter estimates a temblor's size once the ground ruptures and sounds an alarm before shaking starts by exploiting the lag time it takes for different seismic waves to travel to the surface.

This is possible because shock waves coursing through the Earth move slower than electronic signals transmitted via a computer data network.

Weak tremors called primary, or P waves, spread from the epicenter and travel faster than the destructive shear, or S waves, which cause severe shaking. A warning is issued when the P wave signal passes a certain intensity, though there's debate about how much to read into the signals.

The amount of forewarning depends on the distance from the epicenter, so early warning won't work for areas directly above the ruptured fault, where the P and S waves are nearly simultaneous and shaking is the most intense. According to some estimates, communities radiating miles from the deadly San Andreas fault?which cuts through most of California and caused San Francisco's disastrous 1906 quake?could receive up to 60 seconds of warning.

Supporters say that gives communities a fighting chance to reduce injuries and damage. Skeptics contend seconds are hardly enough time to make a real difference and say there's no evidence that existing systems have saved significant lives.

"When people think of early warning, they think they'll get time to do something useful before shaking starts,'' said David Wald of the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Colorado. "But in reality, you don't get a lot of time.''

Japan pioneered seismic early warning in the 1980s with a system that automatically halted its high-speed trains during major quakes. Mexico, Taiwan and Turkey followed, though their alert systems are much less complex.

Since 2004, Japan has been experimenting with an advanced system that warns a select group of 250 government agencies, businesses and schools. The government plans to expand the service this summer and eventually make it broadly available after educating the public about its limitations, said Makoto Saito of the Japan Meteorological Agency.

Early warning isn't foolproof: About 10 percent of the 245 warnings that the newest Japanese system sent between February 2004 and last August were false alarms.

Mexico's $2 million alert system, installed after the 1985 quake flattened much of Mexico City, was suspended twice during its inaugural year after a computer glitch failed to detect a major quake and a false alarm caused a subway stampede. Mexican officials tweaked the system so that an alert is sent only if there is confirmation from two seismic stations instead of just one.

The USGS project will test three experimental early warning systems?two developed by Caltech and one by the University of California, Berkeley. Initial funding will start at $250,000.

Scientists have tested the three computer algorithms using historical earthquake data to see how well they can accurately estimate a quake's magnitude, or how much energy is released. For example, the Berkeley model can correctly guess a quake's size from as little as four seconds of data.

The trick will be to see how well the models fare in real time.

The three models will be incorporated into existing seismic networks around Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay area, which monitor the hundreds of quakes that hit the state each year including those too small to be felt. The systems currently gather information about a quake's strength, location and intensity minutes after it occurs.

It'll be up to the experimental systems to sort incoming data and estimate a quake's size within seconds. Scientists will then compare the computer's guess to the actual magnitude and monitor for false alarms.

Even if the models work, the U.S. must first upgrade its seismic monitoring networks and resolve the nagging cost issues of building a national system. Congress has only funded a fraction of the $170 million needed to upgrade and install digital sensors in seismically active zones.

Still, early warning proponents are encouraged.

"Early warning isn't a panacea,'' said Richard Allen, a Berkeley seismologist who developed one of the models. "But I do think it can reduce the impacts of earthquakes.''

MEXICO CITY (AP) - Aletta, the first tropical storm of the eastern Pacific season, was moving slowly north on Sunday, about 105 miles southwest of the Mexican resort of Acapulco.

Aletta's winds remained at about 45 mph at it moved at 2 mph, and while forecasters said it could still move closer to land, they predicted it would turn to the west by Tuesday and start heading out to sea.

Mexico issued a tropical storm warning for a 240-mile stretch of coast from Punta Maldonado, east of Acapulco, to Zihuatanejo to the west, and discontinued storm watches further east, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

Sunday, May 28, 2006

A volcano on the Indian Ocean island of Grande Comore has erupted, lighting up the sky and sending scores of frightened residents onto the streets.

Residents of Moroni, the capital of the Comoros islands, said on Sunday that they could see lava at the top of 2,361-metre Mount Karthala, one of the world's largest active volcanoes.

"When I saw Karthala glowing we came out to see what was going on but I really don't know, I'm worried," said 35-year-old Houmadu Saindou.

Karthala last erupted in April 2005, affecting as many as 40,000 residents and forcing thousands to flee in fear of poisonous gas and a possible magma flow.

It was the volcano's first eruption in more than decade on the archipelago nation, 300km off the coast of East Africa.

Volcano scientist Hamidou Nassor said Sunday's activity also amounted to an eruption but it was too soon to tell how dangerous this one would be.

"Effectively there is an eruption but we don't know yet if there will be any gas," he said.

"There is a risk of a lava flow but we don't know yet which direction. It is urgent that we get a helicopter there to assess what is going on."

Grande Comore, the main island in the Comoros chain

African Union troops, who were in Comoros for the May 14 election, were expected to fly over the volcano on Monday morning to try to determine the direction of the lava flow in case evacuations are needed along its path.

Karthala's majestic crag and its fertile slopes covered in vanilla vine plantations form most of Grande Comore, the main island in the Comoros chain.

The islands have largely escaped major destruction from the volcano, which has erupted every 11 years on average over the last 200 years, but has had several close calls.

In November, Mount Karthala sent clouds of ash and sparks over the island, blanketing the capital Moroni and other villages in grey dust. Moroni is about 15km from Karthala's crater.

Sarajevo - New wonders related to purported pyramids in central Bosnia-Herzegovina may soon transform the tiny Balkan country into a world archaeological giant, backers of the pyramids theory are arguing.

A Sarajevo-born American Semir Osmanagic, who strikingly resembles the famous action-movie hero Indiana Jones, still claims that the alleged pyramids in Bosnia were built by a highly-developed civilisation thousands of years ago.

The new evidence discovered in the system of tunnels under the biggest alleged pyramid - the Pyramid of the Sun - in the central Bosnian town of Visoko, Osmanagic told a press conference in Sarajevo, proves the existence of a developed civilisation in that area some 12 000 years ago.

The alleged pyramids in Bosnia were built by a highly-developed civilisation,

"While working in the tunnel, we recently discovered huge sandstone monoliths with some symbols engraved on one of them," said Osmanagic.

Symbols, something like arrows and some also looking like today's letter "E" Osmanagic said, were probably letters of an ancient writing system.

The sample pictures of the symbols discovered in the tunnels under the local Visocica Hill were sent for further analyses to Egypt. An expert for ancient letters and languages, he said, should join a team of Egyptian experts, expected to arrive soon in Bosnia and examine what is believed to be Bosnian Pyramid Valley, about 30km north from Sarajevo.

Besides three purported pyramids - one each for the sun, the moon and a dragon - that he discovered since April last year, when first researches started near Visoko, Osmanagic now claims another two significantly smaller pyramids exist in the valley.

He called them the Pyramid of Mother Earth and the Pyramid of Love.

They accuse Osmanagic of damaging the archaeological artefacts

Thorough research of the alleged Pyramid Valley in Bosnia started earlier this year after preliminary tests - soundings and satellite imagery of the terrain - offered some evidence that at least one, and possibly a couple more may really exist in Visoko.

The soundings showed some materials, such as clay and polished stone pieces, as well as some stones with metal traces which were believed not to have been created by nature.

A local and an Egyptian expert in geology, according to Osmanagic, also confirmed that the huge sandstone blocks were connected by the concrete.

In the foothill of the Pyramid of the Moon, he said, stone tiles with a characteristic pattern, and arranged like a mosaic, was also found, which further confirms the existence of an ancient civilisation there.

An Egyptian geologist, expert in pyramids Ali Abd Alla Barakat of the Cairo-based Egyptian Mineral Resource Authority said he believed in the existence of the pyramids in Visoko.

Barakat, who worked on the famous Egyptian pyramids in Giza, said the ancient builders in Bosnia used the same techniques to link huge stone blocks like those who constructed Egyptian pyramids.

Enver Buza of the Sarajevo-based Geodesy Institute, which also conducted geodetic researches of the terrain, confirmed that the basis of what is believed to be three biggest pyramids in Visoko, perfectly matches with four major sides of the world.

The northern side of so-called Pyramid of the Sun - the biggest suspected pyramid under the Visocica Hill, said Buza, deviates not more than 12mm from the position of the polar star.

The three alleged pyramids have also been positioned to make a perfect triangle.

"There is no doubt that this is a pyramid hidden under vegetation of the Visocica Hill," said Buza and added: "There is no dilemma that we talk about colossal buildings, pyramids."

Bosnian archaeologists and historians, however, still reject the theory on pyramids in central Bosnia, claiming that the most of today's Bosnia was empty or populated by very primitive, underdeveloped tribes in the time when Egyptian pyramids were built.

Through open debates in media they accuse Osmanagic of damaging the archaeological artefacts at the top of the Visocica Hill - remains of a medieval town and a fortress of Bosnian kings.

The local population and businessmen in Visoko accepted the pyramid theory as a perfect magnet for tourists, and as a chance for the fast development of that tiny central Bosnian town.

The pyramids, or the alleged Bosnian Pyramid Valley, however, did not stop Osmanagic in searching for other wonders in Bosnia- Herzegovina.

His Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun Foundation has just started research into ancient stone spheres, huge stone balls discovered on several locations from central- to northern Bosnia.

More than 40 such spheres, the biggest reaching a circumference of 5,3 metres, the foundation claims, were found only in the region of the northern town of Zavidovici, while several dozens of the stone balls could also be found in the wider northern region of Bosnia.

The stone spheres, found also in Latin America, according to Osmanagic, were probably built by the same people who built the pyramids in Visoko. The strange, perfectly-shaped balls, he believes, were some sort of "energetic spot" in the ancient world for the region. Nowadays, that region is known as Europe.

" In my dream, the sun and the moon appeared in the heavens in a morepowerful intensity than I had never seen before. Suddenly two men cameout of the light; one out of the sun, and one out of the moon. The onein the sun began to speak. 'I am the Son of Righteousness, and I will soon come to judge the world! Get up and work NOW while it is stillday, for night is soon coming when you no longer shall be able to work.I want to strengthen you, for I still have work for you to do. Look toyour left.'

When I looked to my left, I saw a BLACK CLOUD furiously approaching, with lightning and thunder booming out of it! It covered the horizon,and soon covered the sun and the moon. A heavy smell filled the placewhere I stood, making it very difficult to breathe. 'What can thishorrible stench be?,' I asked.

'This is how nuclear fallout smells,' He replied. Then suddenly, in the darkness of the cloud, far away from where I stood, there was alittle flicker of light. The Voice in the sun said,' Walk toward thelight.'

As I began to follow the flicker of light, all of my family wassuddenly with me. We kept walking on a very narrow path, and aftera very long and exhausting trip we arrived at the bank of a bigbody of water. Again the Voice spoke,' You must get across thewater!' I became troubled, because there was no way we could cross.Then something like a ski lift appeared before us. The Voice againspoke,' Get on.' Before we even had time to think, we arrived onthe other side of the body of water. The the Voice said to me,'DO NOT BE QUIET. Tell the people that the time is very short,and trouble WILL come onto the earth. I will still allow a time forthe souls of those that I want to save. Tell the people that I am ajealous God, and I want them all for Me. Tell them to pray more andworship Me with all their hearts in holiness, and cleanliness.'Then I awoke........ENDDUMITRU DUDUMAN [Romanian Pastor - Gone to be with the Lord]

Indonesians sift debris after quake kills 3,500 Rescuers struggle to reach survivors in Java after 6.3 temblor YOGYAKARTA, Indonesia - Desperate relatives searched rubble for survivors Saturday after a powerful earthquake flattened nearly all the buildings in this rice-farming town while residents slept, killing more than 3,500 people on Indonesia's densely populated Java island. The magnitude-6.3 quake wounded thousands more and was the nation's worst disaster since the 2004 tsunami. It also triggered fears that a rumbling volcano nearby would erupt..... Record hotspot found underwater Supercritical hydrothermal vent found on Atlantic seabed. http://www.nature.com/news/2006/060522/full/060522-15.html Scientists working in the southern Atlantic Ocean have found a 407 °C hydrothermal vent, the hottest yet known on an ocean floor. Although only 5 °C hotter than the previous deep-sea high of 402 °C, recorded in the Pacific Ocean, the new hotspot bumps seawater into the strange state of being a supercritical fluid. Expedition leader Andrea Koschinsky of International University in Bremen, Germany, and her team found the hydrothermal vent, also known as a black smoker, just south of the Equator on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge at a depth of 2,990 metres - or 299 bar pressure. At pressures and temperatures above 298 bar and 407 °C, seawater becomes something between a thin liquid and a dense vapour: a supercritical fluid......

The quake hit hundreds of square miles of mostly farming communities in Yogyakarta province, causing damage to the world-famous 9th century Prambanan temple. As many as 450 aftershocks followed, the strongest magnitude 5.2.

BANTUL, Indonesia (AP) - After sleeping outside in streets and fields, Indonesian earthquake survivors scavenged their wrecked villages Sunday for food, clothing and anything of use as the death toll rose to more than 4,300. Some 200,000 people were left homeless.

Waves of aftershocks compounded the terror of the magnitude-6.3 quake, which flattened villages and towns on densely populated Java island early Saturday - Indonesia's worst disaster since the 2004 tsunami. Power and phone service remained out amid fears that a nearby rumbling volcano might erupt.

Nations worldwide hurried to send food, supplies and funds. The Rome-based U.N. World Food Program said a plane with medicine and medical personnel was en route, as were eight truckloads of fortified noodles and biscuits. The U.N. children's agency UNICEF said it was ready to send tents, hygiene kits, health kits and school supplies.

The worst devastation was in the town of Bantul, which accounted for three-quarters of the deaths. One man dug his 5-year-old daughter out of the rubble of her bedroom only to have her die in a hospital awaiting treatment with hundreds of others.

"Her last words were 'Daddy, Daddy,'" said Poniran, who like many Indonesians uses only one name.

"I have to start my life from zero again."

Some bodies were pulled from the collapsed brick-and-wood houses early Sunday in villages visited by reporters, but few were believed to still be trapped. Most of the dead were buried within hours of the disaster, in line with Islamic tradition.

In Peni, a hamlet on Bantul's southern outskirts, 20 residents searched for a neighbor, Purwoko, after finding the bodies of his wife and three children. Villagers set up simple clinics despite shortages in medicine and equipment. Women cooked catfish caught in a nearby pond for dozens of people huddled under a large tent.

The quake hit hundreds of square miles of mostly farming communities in Yogyakarta province, causing damage to the world-famous 9th century Prambanan temple. As many as 450 aftershocks followed, the strongest magnitude 5.2.

At least 4,332 people were killed, according to government figures, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent said at least 200,000 people were left homeless.

Many people spent Saturday night sleeping in any open space available - on streets, in cassava fields, in narrow rice groves. On Sunday, exhausted and grieving, survivors searched the ruins of their homes and complained that aid was slow in arriving.

"We're short of everything - clothes, food, water, all are gone. We are poor people, but our lives still matter," said Budi Wiyana, 63.

Doctors struggled to care for the injured, hundreds of them lying on plastic sheets, straw mats and even newspapers outside overcrowded hospitals. Some were hooked to intravenous drips dangling from trees.

Bloodstains littered the floor at Yogyakarta's Dr. Sardjito Hospital, along with piles of soiled bandages and used medical supplies. Relatives fanned victims in the heat in temporary shelters set up in the parking lot and corridors.

"We have too many patients and they're still arriving," said Aru, a doctor, adding that the hospital had received more than 2,000 wounded.

The earthquake hit at 5:54 a.m., caving in tile roofs and sending walls crashing down. Survivors screamed as they ran from their homes, some clutching bloodied children and the elderly.

The quake was the latest in a series of disasters to hit Indonesia: The 2004 tsunami that killed 131,000 people in Aceh province, terrorist attacks, a widening bird flu outbreak, and the threat of eruption from nearby Mount Merapi.

The quake's epicenter was 50 miles south of the volcano, and activity increased soon after the temblor. A large burst spewed hot clouds and sent debris cascading some two miles down its western flank. No one was injured because nearby residents had already been evacuated.

Officials said the famed 7th century Borobudur Buddhist temple, one of Indonesia's most popular tourist attractions, was not affected. But Prambanan, a spectacular Hindu temple to the southeast, suffered serious damage, with hundreds of stone carvings and blocks scattered around the ancient site.

It will be closed to the public until archeologists are able to determine whether the foundation was damaged, said Agus Waluyo, head of the Yogyakarta Archaeological Conservation Agency. Close to 1 million tourists visit the Borobudur and Prambanan temples every year.

International agencies and nations across Europe and Asia pledged millions of dollars in aid and prepared shipments of tents, blankets, generators, water purification equipment and other supplies. The United States promised $2.5 million in emergency aid; the European Union granted $3.8 million.

Jakarta (AFP) May 28, 2006 - The Pacific's volatile "Ring of Fire" unleashed two more earthquakes Sunday, a day after a temblor in Indonesia left more than 3,300 dead in one of the world's most seismically active regions.

MWM: Estimated dead are already 10 times this and may end up being another ten times higher. But my impression is that Indonesians build primarily with tropical woods, which means there are relatively few masonry buildings to crush people so the casualties should not be near what is typical in places like Iran. USGS reporting two 4.0 range aftershocks but not reporting much more in the way of aftershocks at the moment but these are likely to come within the next 48 hours. This quake was some 35 kilometers deep, quite deep, meaning that it was a major rupture, internal crustal "explosion" at the very root of the magma system which feeds Merapi. TO FEEL 6.5 AT THE SURFACE MEANS THAT WAS ONE MAJOR EVENT DOWN DEEP AT THE TECTONIC BOTTOM PLATE JOINTS WHERE THE ACTIVE SUBDUCTION IS TAKING PLACE THROUGH THE DEFORMATION OF THE CRUSTAL MATERIAL. It will take a while for the heat and gas flow to crack its way to the surface but within the next two weeks MUCH more is likely to come from Merapi, RAPIDLY A LOT OF LAVA EVENTUALLY, BUT THE COMING HEAT FLEX WILL PRECEDE IT AND MAY SUPERHEAT AND DISSOCIATE ENOUGH NEW GAS AND VAPOR IN THE ROCKS THAT THE INITIAL UPSURGE IN THE ERUPTION COULD BE QUITE EXPLOSIVE INDEED. MERIPI SHOULD BE EVACUATED FOR AT LEAST 40 KM ALL AROUND.

An earthquake that shook the area around the ancient royal city of Yogyakarta early today has killed at least 244 people and injured many more, according to hospital staff.

Most of the dead suffered severe head injuries and broken bones from collapsing buildings. Officials at six hospitals in and around Yogyakarta gave figures for the dead totalling 309 and said casualties were likely to continue rising. Yogyakarta is on Indonesia's main island of Java and near Mount Merapi, a volcano that has been on top alert for a major eruption this month. A vulcanologist in Yogyakarta said the quake was tectonic and not caused by the volcano, but the quake's impact could increase Merapi's activity. The epicentre of the quake -- which happened just before 6 am (0430 IST) and had a magnitude of 6.2, according to the US Geological Survey -- was offshore. Jakarta earthquake centre official Fauzi said it did not cause a tsunami. []

Yogyakarta is about 25 km north of the Indian Ocean coast and 440 km east of Jakarta. Officials at six hospitals in and around Yogyakarta gave figures for the dead they had handled totalling 290.

The victims had generally suffered head injuries and broken bones from collapsing buildings. ''Most of them have wounds on their heads. The flow is not going down. The numbers are going to escalate,'' Subandi from the Bethesda hospital morgue in Yogyakarta told Reuters by telephone.

''However, everytime there is a tremor, hospital workers run out of the building,'' he added, speaking of the aftershocks that typically follow a large earthquake. Witnesses said hundreds of houses had collapsed in the quake. Office and government buildings were also in ruins. Hospital patients had been moved outside due to fears of aftershocks.

Thousands of residents were taking refuge in Yogyakarta's main square while thousands of others were sheltering at compounds of scores of mosques, churches and hospitals throughout the region.

''We're still afraid. We don't want to go home,'' said Hendra, one of hundreds of people who took refuge at Yogyakarta's Marganingsih Catholic Church. Jakarta earthquake centre official Fauzi put the quake's strength at 5.8 and said the epicentre was in the sea about 50 km south of Yogyakarta at a depth of 33 km.

There was widespread panic in Bantul, where at least 10 people were killed and hundreds hurt, and a desperate need for more doctors and nurses to treat the injured, said Kardi, the information officer for the hospital there.

A Reuters witness in Yogyakarta said many people there had fled their homes while thousands of others from areas near the city were trying to get into it to take refuge, many fearing a tsunami.

One Yogyakarta resident, Nani Kasidjo, said: ''I was having a morning walk and suddenly I felt dizzy and then people ran out of their houses screaming 'Earthquake!'''. Yogyakarta's airport was closed due to damage to the runway, Hatta Rajasa, transportation minister, told Elshinta news radio.

Roads leading to the coast were cracked and power was off in some areas, witnesses said. Telephone communication was erratic.

Yogyakarta's royal palaces and the nearby Borobudur temple complex are prime attractions for domestic and foreign tourists, and many foreigners study the Indonesian language at schools in the city which offer intensive courses. Indonesia sits on the Asia-Pacific's so-called ''Ring of Fire'' marked by heavy volcanic and tectonic activity.

Electricity and communications were also down in parts of Yogyakarta, police said. "It felt really powerful, and the whole building shook," said Narman, a receptionist who goes by one name at a hotel in Yogyakarta. "Everyone ran from their rooms." In the chaos that followed the quake, rumors of an impending tsunami sent thousands of people fleeing to higher ground in cars and on motorbikes. The city is around 30 kilometres from the sea, and more than three hours after the quake no tsunami had occurred. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii said it has not issued any tsunami warnings from the quake. Japan's Meteorological Agency also said there was no danger of quake-generated giant waves.

The quake's epicenter was close to the Mount Merapi volcano, which has been rumbling for weeks and sending out large clouds of hot gas and ash. Activity increased as a result of the temblor, with one eruption that came soon after the volcano sending debris some 3.5 kilometres down its western flank, said Subandrio, a vulcanologist monitoring the peak.

"The quake has disturbed the mountain," he said.

There were no reports of injuries as a result of the eruption. Activity at Mount Merapi, one of the world's most active volcanoes, has picked up in recent weeks and almost all villagers living near the danger zone have been evacuated. Indonesia, the world's largest archipelago, is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the so-called Pacific "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanos and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.
